RE: MD: MD Lens Cleaners (anyone remember this thread?)
I've used it in my unit with no ill-effect. I can understand it with the head cleaner, but not the lens cleaner. I read through the instructions included with my 6LCL and there was no warning of that nature. Adios, LarZ --- TAMA - The Strongest Name in Drums --- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Richard Lang Sent: Wednesday, 6 December 2000 11:56 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject:MD: MD Lens Cleaners (anyone remember this thread?) Just a final note on the MD Lens Cleaner discussion - I've had the opportunity of checking out a Sony MD-6LCL lens cleaning MD in the flesh. It looks like a pre-recorded MD - shutter on one side only. You insert the thing in the MD unit and press track 2, and it beeps when the job is done. Apparently tracks 3 and 5 have a music selection on them -presumably for testing the cleaning job. I can't figure out how it works, but the sales assistance said it uses a brush. Anyhow, the packaging suggests you use it once every 2 weeks. The assistant suggest once every 6 months. Anyhow, the upshot is Sony say you should use it as regular maintenance, not as a "fix" in the case of malfunction. Take from that what you will. Once it's been used 50 times you have to throw it out and buy a new one. What's interesting you CAN'T use it is car MD headunits, apparently. No indication why (that kind of prevents me from buying one, because my Sony car MD is the unit I'm most concerned about).

MD: Recording Interviews/Speeches for Internet Use
Recording Interviews/Speeches for Internet Use 1. I truck around the world giving speeches on the Internet and democracy/politics http://www.publicus.net. I meet lots of interesting people and would like to record interviews, conference discussions, and do some real-time Internet webcasting from time to time. 2. My Base computer equipment on the road - I have a Sony Vaio SR5 with 128 MB memory running Windows 2000. I like to use small devices whenever possible. My computer has a Firewire plug, USB, and a memory stick slot. 3. MP3 Recorders A. Are you aware of a MP3 Player/Recorder with an external mic jack? B. I see that many offer voice recording with built in mics and that the Nomad Jukebox has line-in plug that would required a pre-amped mic. Are small portable mics with the pre-amp built-in available? C. What about Sony, will they have a MP3 recorder with an external mic jack that uses their memory stick? 4. Portable Mini-Disc Recorders - My research thus far leads me toward some sort of Mini-disk solution with a decent PC connection. I am more interested in uploading interviews quickly to my computer than downloading MP3 to a player. What are my options? What do you recommend? Should I wait for the MDLP versions to reach the U.S.? I want to avoid taking 30 minutes to get a 30 minute interview onto my computer. 5. Microphones - I'd like to be able to set a microphone(s) on a table to record discussions or interviews. Are teleconferencing/meeting recording like mics suitable (the ones that are all connected to be scattered across a table)? What about two person discussions, how should two lapel mics be connected? 6. Webcasting - When I have the proper net connection and power source, I plan to use my laptop to audio cast events via streaming MP3 using Shoutcast and Live365.com. Any tips here? Can I both webcast live and record at the same time? 7. Video??? - Should I just scrap the audio-only recorder option and put the money toward a fancy digital camcorder? Why not just use the camera to record the sound and strip the audio from the video? What kind of sound quality can these Firewire/memory stick compatible camcorders record? What software would you need to strip out the audio digitally?

=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === I mean, press one button to mark once, the same thing to mark the end of the selection, and delete, the menus that stay where you left off last are a pain. I couldn't record with the computer because a shoutcast or something else already hogs the recording capacity of the sound card.

No. That would be impossible, as you'd need to specify what to move and where to put it. All recorders allow you to divide, resequence, and combine tracks. There are limitations on combining, so you might have to leave the moved part as a separate track. But it will always take several operations. No device has a "do what I'm thinking" button. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
